Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Eculizumab in C3 Glomerulopathy: A Systematic Review of Therapeutic Efficacy and Clinical Outcomes

Pharmaceutics
Background: C3 glomerulopathies (C3G), including dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), are rare kidney disorders driven by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway.

FHR-5 Serum Levels and CFHR5 Genetic Variations in Patients With Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and C3-Glomerulopathy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundFactor H-related protein 5 (FHR-5) is a member of the complement Factor H protein family. Due to the homology to Factor H, the main complement regulator of the alternative pathway, it may also be implicated in the pathomechanism of kidney ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

C3 glomerulopathy in children: experience at a resource-limited center [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics
Background In children, C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by diverse clinicopathological profiles and kidney outcomes. However, diagnostic work-up in resource-limited settings is challenging because of the unavailability of

Human factor H-related protein 2 (CFHR2) regulates complement activation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mutations and deletions within the human CFHR gene cluster on chromosome 1 are associated with diseases, such as dense deposit disease, CFHR nephropathy or age-related macular degeneration. Resulting mutant CFHR proteins can affect complement regulation.

Dense deposit disease: A variant of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis

Kidney International, 1975
It has been demonstrated in previous studies that there are several morphological variants of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) [1–3]. In most cases mesangial cell proliferation and an increase in mesangial matrix are associated with capillary wall thickening (“classical MPGN”).

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Function and Dysfunction of Complement Factor H During Formation of Lipid-Rich Deposits

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Complement-mediated inflammation or dysregulation in lipid metabolism are associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. These include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN), dense deposit disease (DDD ...
